Pros

Flexible and extensive PTO. Hybrid and flexible schedule. Big Corporation with large resources for work development. Usually, very friendly coworkers.

Cons

The management is overworking the employees, there's no real leadership, and it is snowballing onto all the projects in the studio. A massive exodus is happening because leadership only cares about their wages/reputation and is unwilling to invest in nor recognize hard work in lower levels. The corporate structure (CEO and high administration) does not seem to care about the lack of real leadership affecting the studio.
